Abstract
Jørgen Koch introduced mycologists to a unique habitat for marine fungi, namely the sand dunes of Grønhøj, Jutland, Denmark. The high diversity of marine fungi obtained from the site provided abundant sporulating structures for a number of research areas in marine mycology including ecological surveys, ultrastructure examination of ascospore appendage development, spore attachment studies and phylogeny. This review highlights the key observations in these areas. Also, a list of 102 species of marine fungi documented for Denmark is provided.
